Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Planty <= 1.14.0 versions.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

An unauthenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in Planty versions 1.14.0 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating input parameters used in file inclusion operations.

MitigationUpgrade Planty to a version newer than 1.14.0. As a temporary measure, implement strict input validation on file path parameters and consider deploying a WAF to block directory traversal patterns.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Planty installation version
    Locate the Planty installation directory and check version information in package.json, composer.json, or a VERSION file typically found in the application root. If using a package manager, run 'npm list planty' or 'composer show planty' to retrieve the installed version.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.14.0 or lower
  2. Identify file inclusion endpoints
    Review application source code for includes, requires, or similar functions that accept user-supplied input. Search for patterns like 'include($_GET', 'require($_POST', or dynamic file inclusion functions that use request parameters.
    Affected if The application uses dynamic file inclusion with unsanitized user input from request parameters
  3. Verify unauthenticated access to file inclusion functionality
    Attempt to access the suspected file inclusion endpoint without providing authentication credentials. Check if the application allows unauthenticated requests to reach the vulnerable code path.
    Affected if The file inclusion functionality is accessible without authentication
  4. Check for input validation on file path parameters
    Inspect the code handling file inclusion requests to determine if directory traversal sequences (such as '../', '..\', or absolute paths) are being validated, sanitized, or blocked before being used in file operations.
    Affected if No input validation or sanitization is performed on file path parameters, allowing directory traversal
  5. Review web server logs for exploitation attempts
    Examine web server access logs for patterns indicating LFI exploitation attempts, such as requests containing '../', '..\', or common system file paths like '/etc/passwd' in query parameters.
    Affected if Logs show directory traversal patterns in requests to file inclusion endpoints

You are affected if Planty version 1.14.0 or lower is installed AND the application uses dynamic file inclusion with user-controlled input that is accessible without authentication and lacks proper input validation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
